Data to be used
The reason that I will be sun the Internet is so that i can get a lot of mostly reliable information and pictures that are good for my project, the sources of the information that I will be using are:
Internet- This I believe will be the main source of my information mainly because it has the most relevant information and it is more easy to find and access than say a library. Also I is the most up to date if there are websites n Korfball then it is easy to update hat website but if it get all of the information from books then the information will only be as up to date as when the book is written.
Leaflets- I may get some of my information from leaflets but I think that as you cannot fit much on a leaflet then I will already be quite well informed about.
Books- I think that the only reason that I would use a book is to find a list of rules the reason that I would only use a book for this information is as I said earlier that the information will always be changing so the book would not be up to date.
In regards to what internet site I will be using to get my information off I will be using many different websites but 9 think that the main one that I will be using will be wwwlkentkorfball.com I have been on this particular site before and I know that it is very reliable and it has relevant up to date information also I has a list of fixtures which will be useful in fulfilling the target to make people aware of the venues that korfball is played say what time etc.
Processing
Here I will need to be able to get information off the internet to be able to put the information on my internet site so that people who know nothing about the sport will be able to understand the text the way I have written it rather than me just copying it off the internet and putting it on my website. The processing is the sort of middle link of what I get off the internet the raw material and what I will actually put on my internet site so that newcomers to the site can understand what I am talking about.
Data manipulation
The main way that I will manipulate data is by either copying extracts from a website and edit the text for example a set of |Korfball rules will be incomprehendable by someone who does not know anything about Korfball so I will edit the data into my own words but still keep the main jist of what the rule is about. The other way that I will manipulate data is by possibly downloading a picture and then making the photo smaller so that it fits into my website space or enlarging the specific detail that I want that particular picture or indeed cropping a picture to make it smaller. Another way to crop an image is to rotate a certain mage so that it fits into my website. I can also o make pictures flash and move and scroll along the screen to make so the image be more noticeable so that people will look at that picture rather than something else. I can do the same thing with text, if I want to make someone notice text I can highlight the text in a bright colour or make bold which will aging make someone notice it. I will also use data manipulation by combining a number of inputs to make a complex picture.
Security
For my security I will often save my work so that if the computer does crash or someone turns my computer of I have it saved so I will not really matter’s will also keep a second copy of each file so that if someone does find get onto my user area if they do delete the main file I will have a copy in a different user area under a different name. I will also try to remember to save all o my work to a floppy disk so that if someone deletes all of my files I will have it on a floppy disk and also if the whole computer system crashes and is out for a long time, so that I don’t fall behind I will have it on floppy disk. Passwords will also play a major role in keeping my files safe. I will have a password for my user area, which will obviously prevent people from easily accessing my user area. I will also try to set a password to go on my actual account.
